Uninstalling and reinstalling does not work. Only a patch from the programmers will fix this game, and there never will be a patch. Lucas and company could make some easy dough if they would release a Direct X 9 version of this game with the fixes and maybe a few updates. There is nothing like this game for a PC on the store shelf.

I have tried running RS on several PC's with XP SP2 that had either 3Dfx or ATI video cards with Direct X 9c. I have not tried Nvidia video cards though. Are their drivers compatible with RS and XP? Vamps720 has the same problem with an 8600GTS. Also, what do you mean by Space Formatting? Are you talking about partitioning the hard drive in some way? I really enjoyed RS and if I had room for one, I would build an old PC for a few of my older games as I do not believe my new Core Duo and other hardware will work too well with Windows 98 or ME due to drivers.
